Soooo, after lots of reading and just as much trial and error, I came up with this config that seems to work best:

Source Type: ffmpeg
Source Path: rtmp://10.0.0.165:1935/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=admin&password=password
Method: UDP
Options: reorder_queue_size=5000,allowed_media_types=video,buffer_size=10000000
Capture Resolution: 640x480
Controllable: yes
Control Address: admin:password@10.0.0.165:8000
Auto Stop Timeout: 0.25

The high quality stream is "channel0_main", the low quality on "channnel0_sub". Strangely, the high quality channnel only works when I put the low quality resolution. So instead of 2560x1920 I need to put 640x480. That was a hard thing to find.

On the camera the following settings seem to provide the best results in ZM:

Clear Stream:
Resolution: 2560x1920
Frame Rate: 30
Maximum Bitrate: 6144
H2.64 Profile: Base

Fluent Stream:
Resolution: 640x480
Frame Rate: 7
Maximum Bitrate: 160
H2.64 Profile: Base

The default username/password on this model is "admin" and an empty password, but I had to set a password before the source path above would work.

If you want audio with the video recordings place this in the "Options" field of the "Source" tab:

allowed_media_types=video,audio

And use this option in the "Video Writer" field of the "Storage" tab:
